Hello! My fiance and I are going to have a civil ceremony in Cancun. Our wedding planner got permission from the judge for us to have a mini "personal" ceremony (i.e. read scripture, sing songs, etc.) before the judge does his legal ceremony. Have any of you done this? What exactly happens in the civil ceremony? I know it's read in Spanish and interpreted to English but what else besides that? Do any of you have a script?

 

Thanks!!

Hi there,

 

The civil ceremony cannot be altered.  The judge can allow (as he is doing with you guys) to read some poems, give you a message , sharing some vows and things of that matter for the first part of the ceremony.  Then the solemn part begins where he introduces himself, the fact that he is acting of behalf of government, he has to read a letter 3-4 paragraphs that is part of all civil ceremonies in Mexico and where it stands the roles/obligations of those getting married. 

 

Then he will ask if you have come without any pressure to get married, ask the people around if there are any impediments, then he will proceed to ask you to sign the documents and finger printing them for both you and your hubby and your witnesses (2 on each side)  once that is done he will tell you that you are now legally married under the law in Mexico and he may suggest you kiss each other.  He will allow for rings exchanges as well - you may want to discuss with your wedding coordinator about how he is going to add that to the ceremony so you are aware.

 

Hope it helps!

Jazmin

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
